The project is a workforce camp for a steel plant in Lagos State, Nigeria, built from 360 container-based housing units. It is one of five overseas camp projects in the Wanbang project record. The figures below are taken from that record.
| Item | Project record |
|---|---|
| Location | Lagos State, Nigeria |
| Project type | Workforce camp for a steel plant |
| Total units | 360 |
| Unit mix | 340 quick-assembly container houses plus 20 flat-pack container houses |
| Site conditions | West African coastal heat and humidity |
| Product platform | Container-based modular units on a shared 6,055 × 2,990 mm footprint |
Humidity is the slower of the two stresses on a camp. Heat is felt on site within minutes, but moisture works on the building fabric — on panels, joints and fixings — over the whole life of the project. That is why a coastal West African camp is specified around the wall system, the floor and the steel finish, not around the unit count alone.
Both unit types on this project sit on the same materials platform. The walls are colour-steel rock wool sandwich panels, which the product documentation describes as combining thermal insulation with fire and moisture resistance. The flooring is cement fibre board with PVC, chosen for load-bearing capacity, fire resistance and slip resistance.
Nigeria — 360 units, 340 quick-assembly container houses plus 20 flat-pack container houses, for a steel plant workforce camp in Lagos State.
A camp of this size is two jobs at once: moving a large volume of accommodation, and providing a smaller, better-finished group of buildings for the people who run the site. The unit mix on this project reflects exactly that split.
Every structural component is disassembled into parts and packed for shipping, so one 40-foot high-cube container carries approximately 14 units. On arrival the frame goes together with bolted connections — no site welding — and the documentation gives the assembly rate as roughly three hours per unit for four workers, without cranes or forklifts.
Flat-pack container houses ship by the sandwich method, with roof and base fully prefabricated in the factory and about 10 units per 40HQ. The product documentation lists their main use as camp management offices and living quarters, which matches the role this group plays in a 360-unit camp.
Taken together, the two groups describe a camp rather than a product order: the large majority of the units exist to house the workforce at the lowest freight cost per person, and a small, higher-finish group supports the running of the site.
Wanbang builds four modular unit types on the same camp platform. Two of them were used on this project. They differ mainly in how much of the building is finished in the factory and how the units are packed for shipping — which is what decides freight per unit and site hours per unit.
| Unit type | How it ships | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Flat-pack container house | Sandwich packing: roof and base fully prefabricated in the factory, wall panels, columns and accessories assembled on site; approximately 10 units per 40HQ | Camp management offices and living quarters |
| Quick-assembly container house | Knock-down loading: all structural components disassembled into parts and packed; approximately 14 units per 40HQ | Volume workforce accommodation |
Both unit types share a standard footprint of 6,055 mm × 2,990 mm × 2,896 mm, so the two groups sit on the same planning grid and can be mixed within one layout rather than being treated as separate camps.
The flat-pack units carry a stated service life of 10–15 years, seismic intensity grade 8 and typhoon resistance grade 10, with Class A fire-resistant rock wool cores, concealed wiring, suspended ceilings, premium doors and a centralized internal drainage system. Their steel components use a baked-enamel finish documented as fade-resistant for up to five years — a point worth confirming early on any site with strong coastal sunlight.
Two things are worth separating. The first is the project record itself: 360 units, a mix of 340 quick-assembly and 20 flat-pack container houses, delivered for a steel plant workforce camp in Lagos State, Nigeria.
The second is the configuration. Like the other camps in the record, this is a reference project rather than a fixed catalogue package — unit mix, finishes and services are set per site. Anyone planning a similar camp is comparing a specification, not choosing a stock item, and the specification should be written against the destination climate and the site's own humidity and temperature profile.
The project is located in Lagos State, Nigeria, and serves as a workforce camp for a steel plant.
The project record states 360 units in total.
340 quick-assembly container houses and 20 flat-pack container houses.
The quick-assembly units carry the bulk of the workforce accommodation because they ship as disassembled parts, at roughly 14 units per 40HQ. The flat-pack units are better finished and are documented for camp management offices and living quarters, which is the role the smaller group fills on a camp of this size.
